On this week’s episode of New England Lacrosse Journal’s “Chasing The Goal” podcast, hosts Kyle Devitte and Jack Piatelli were joined by St. Joseph’s of Maine head coach, Bill Cosentino.
Cosentino was hired by St. Joesph’s of Maine in the fall of 2016 as the full-time head men’s lacrosse coach. He took over a program that had gone 5-11 in 2016 and had missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. Due to his tireless recruiting efforts and those of his well-rounded coaching staff, the team has steadily progressed in the ensuing years. His past coaching endeavors included Daniel Webster, Keene State, and Merrimack (N.H.) High School.
Cosentino’s team had a six-win season in his first year at Saint Joseph’s and just missed the conference tournament. The improving trend continued in 2018, as Cosentino led the Monks to their second-ever GNAC Tournament triumph and their first winning season (10-9) in seven years. New team records were set by the Monks in 2019 for victories (12), winning percentage (.706), and longest winning streak. In 2021, the team went 5-3 overall and 3-1 in conference play.
